BICYCLE RIDING WAS POPULAR '93 SPORT Bicycles, which were becoming quite popular in La Grande 40 years ago, have been enjoying ft return to popularity among the more adult ' population of the city of late. For many, many years, bicycles although used extensively by young and old alike In Europe have been regarded as largely vehicles for young er children in this country. Here and there some one of the adult class used a bicycle, but It was through necessity, mostly. Now It Is no uncommon sight to see a young woman, or young man of high school age or older, pedal ling serenely around, the young women most likely attired In shorts. An In some of the larger cities, a great many adults are toking up the riding of bicycles In fact, there was one fatality In Portland a few weeks ago when a woman lost con- trol of her blko and was killed In th-fc crash. Forty years ago, there were about 2S bicycle riders In La Grande, ac cording to the La Orande Chrc.cle Turn To Page 3 For Timely Savings In Everyday Needs Around Home "Economy Tuesday" Page Again Offers Many Substantial Economies in Buying at Local Stores Tomorrow Remember, These Special Prices Are For One Day Only!

This last one of "no strikes during these times and It's to be settled fairly by the government," that's one of the best yet. Unions are fine things, for they are in every lino of business. Bank ers have their association for mu tual benefit, governors have theirs, all big Industries are banded togeth er in some way, but a strike should be the very last meanB, for it like war It always falls on those who had nothing to do with calling It. So viva this last move. Yours, . BLUE EAGLES DISPLAYED BY 180 LOCALLY Signing Expected to Pro ceed at a Somewhat Slower Rate This Week As the rirst week of the N. H. A.

The sport was becoming quite the thing In La Grande, and "a meeting should be held for the purpose of organizing a club", the paper said. J. L. Cavlness & Co.. successors to Young, Dart Conkey. advertised an attractive bicycle called "The '03 New Mall." It was similar to the modern bicycle except that the seat and handlebars were higher above the frame, and a different type of spring was used to absorb the Jolts. There were mu-frunrds for both front and rear wheel, but no stand, and the bike also sported a protecting guard over the chain. Prom the size of the sprocket, It appears that the early day bicycles were built for hill climbing more than speed. Also, there was a metal bar run ning from the front of the scat to the center of the haillebars, which probably required the rider to dis play quito a bS of dexterity In mounting the bike.
